Default Wing-support for Duo one-person assembly

PS: Hans - Further questions about the the IMI double-seat version:
- suitable for one-person assembly ?

I think one could do it, but I have nevery tried it, because in club there are always other people around and we just use it so that we do not have to carry the heavyt wing

- spring strong enough to offset the weight of the wing ?

Yes (it is not a spring but a gas strud)

- have you used this on a Duo (much bigger chord than Arcus) ?

No, but there is much room for adjustment of teh fixation.

- do you have to go under the wing to adjust or lock the height ?

Yes, this feature is much more ellegantly solved with the Lange design. But I see no safety risk in this.
